India pays fee to freedom.

Boy this is going to be a long one.

In the accounts of independence week, Let's have one dedicated to glorious India!

A State of 1.34 billion people and growing, India can be marked as a leader in many ways for the world, the diverse nation is consists of numerous colors and traditions but then why is it still marked as a developing country?

It is said that the brains of people between the 16-25 age group are the smartest and most flexible easily able to adapt and learn, so India should be the most understanding country right? The 34.33% of its major population is youth but the interesting part of this search is that majority of them are planning to or are moving out of the country.

According to my discussions, the younger generations or the gen z is working and studying to get out of the country, on an estimate 60% of the youth wants to move to a more 'peaceful country' or a country with 'better opportunities. But in the 70 years of great independence and shared diversity, did this country not make an excellent pedestal for the next citizens to stand on?

We learn how great our country is in many of our school years, but we never really focus on what's going on rather than the brilliant tradition and cultural heritage, lets talk about what our country really has.

Unity in Religion Diversity,

yeah that exits...kind of.

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple. The philosophy is kindness. -Dalai Lama.

From 300,000 to 500,000 people moved out of Kashmir to leave the riot. But that's the havoc independence brought. Still in just 2012 more than 100 people gave their life in religious break out.

In our country, we are surrounded by people who claim to know it all and represent our traditional heritage, but when a controversial movie comes out with even the slightest inaccuracies, they tend to snap.

Now the weird thing about their outrage is not the flip against the movie, but the way they represent it.

. . .

By burning the theater.

Or destroying public property. According to them breaking the set of the director and boycotting the actors is going to make everything just fine. Do you know what the logical response is? Court.

Surprisingly we do have a judicial system that will listen to their cries. Not the roast and trolling of people who just performed it.

Our constitution states the fact that this is a secular country. Interestingly enough major parties use the fact that they support a certain religion to win elections. They even identify themselves as representatives of the said religion.

More than 1.6 million people lose their lives due to poor healthcare and inaccessible hospital services in India but thank god we have a temple every 7 kilometers. The most renowned and important case for the population that has been in the supreme court is not the devastating Nirbhaya case, but the Ram Mandir one.

Also, a very important issue that was yet to be decided since 1947, and it was going and spent the most time on for 70 years.

Now I believe it was a matter of great importance, but surprisingly we have more than 69,000 cases in the Supreme Court, the information available is that 5.75 million cases are pending in the high courts (HCs) across the country, and 38.15 million cases are pending in the district courts (DCS). But these weren't given much importance because of the halt created by the case of 'heritage importance' as the people like to call it.

Now I know religion is very essential for the survival of humanity, agreed. But it becomes a little problematic when it's discarding the existence of someone.

A fair Parliament and Constitution, because ministers are the best! aren't they?

Politics is the Jungle. Parliament is the circus. Elections are the advertisement campaigns. Tax is the ticket you pay for entertainment. -Amol Gade.

When our constitution was drafted it fit the people for back then, 75 years now things have changed, we have online classes for crying out loud.

Honestly, our constitution is not desirable for, a multi-lingual and multi-social country with such diverse age groups,

In our current parliament, the average age is 60 years and the youngest member being 42 years old, Our youth minister, Anurag Thakur, is 46 years old. To put out more reasonably, the minister of the most important age group The youth, 16-24, is 46 years old.

Our constitution is known to be very flexible, our parliament is just and takes every view into consideration. We are so just and fair that sometimes we forget that being sexist in legislation is not an opinion but just an offensive remark and we don't take it as an offense until pointed out by the victim.

I agree are parliament creates a lot of policies and laws which helps the people in need, but the thing we forget is people who actually need it do not have Television, they don't have internet, and so we also forget to tell it to people what aids the constitution has for them, and people who don't need it end up corrupting it.

Many members of communities including ST, SC, OBC, LGBT+ and unfortunately, WOMEN are discriminated the most and yet helped the least.

There are 25% reserved seats for ST/SC in the parliament, only 10% of women, and almost no LGBT members in it.

Modern India is Modern. I swear to god it is.

Not everything faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it's faced. -James Baldwin.

Law 377 which before was 2018 was for discrimination against the LGBT+ community people blocked that law for years which is weird because it actually came from the British constitution, and what's weirder is that British Constitution changed it 50 yrs before us.

We can't pick a hint, can we?

According to people who still believe that it is against our culture, they really haven't seen any ancient temples. Those places have a very vivid description of what is against our culture.

Anyways the law was finally passed in 2018 and homosexuality is finally considered natural.

Modern India is filled with people owning orthodox thinking.

With the decreasing mental stability in the younger generation and a stigma in the older when it comes to mental health it is really unusual that we call us modern.

With the transphobic behavior towards transgender, it is notably ironic that we are still diverse.

With such a corrupted economy it is extraordinary that we still have people who trust it.

With an education system that neglects these details as not important, it's extraordinary that we still have children with a thirst for knowledge.

With a society that doesn't believe in rape culture it's surprising that we still have feminists.

But those are a talk of another day, or as I like to say.
